Packing on pounds of rock hard muscle for naturally skinny guys can often seem like the most impossible thing to achieve.
What makes matters worse is when we see those genetically-gifted types whose muscles just seem to inflate at the mere mention of the word "exercise".
We know that there must be a better way...surely we can't be "cursed" with a skinny body forever? How is it possible to make your muscles bigger without resorting to muscle-enhancing drugs or other unnecessary pills and supplements?
Eat Bigger To Get Bigger
I'd say the biggest reason why skinny guys can't seem to figure out how to make their muscles bigger is because they're simply not eating enough calories...and their meal frequency is completely off...
Frankly, this is just a recipe for disaster.
As a naturally skinny "hardgainer" your metabolism is running at break neck speed...hence why you find it difficult to pack on any sort of weight whatsoever.
By increasing your daily calorie intake (MASSIVELY) then you ensure that your muscles will always be fed and never "starved" by your fast metabolism.
Look to increase your calories significantly - get around 24 times your body weight in pounds, i.e. if you weigh 170 pounds then you'll need around 4,080 calories per day, spread out over 6 meals to ensure a constant and regular supply to your muscles.
Is Your Workout Right For Your Body Type
Most skinny guys are following a workout that is not designed for their body type...and if it's come from one of the big name bodybuilding magazines that that's a major reason why you're struggling to make your muscles bigger.
Following a workout plan that is designed for a hardgainer and ectomorph is one of the big secrets of how to make your muscles bigger.
This will place a bigger emphasis on full-body workouts as opposed to split workout routines where you would focus on one body part per day. The split routines are not great at helping skinny guys to make their muscles bigger since you will typically only work out each body part once, maybe twice per week.
